Saturday 1st August
A wonderful day, spent with our family. Jennie had arranged for us girlies to go at 9AM to Chocolate Tart where we made, and ate, chocolates, using our fingers and hands to mix, dip etc!!! A great time, spent with my best friend from our youth, Chris Hall (nee Norris) and her 2 daughters, Emma and Lucy. So wonderful that Chris and I were best friends and now Jennie and Chris's daughters are too!!
The weather was awful so a trip to the beach was not on the cards! We had a lovely lunch together and then Pres Mark Webb came to set Stan and I apart as full time missionaries. A lovely hour spent sharing our testimonies and thoughts with each other. Then we needed to complete our packing etc and left for the airport hotel. Not as emotional a leaving as I thought it may be, thank goodness! Martin took us to the Tavelodge at Heathrow where we said goodbye to him at 7:30pm.
Sunday 2nd August
We arrived late this evening after a very good flight, on time, good meals etc! Stan's sister Sheila collected us from the airport and we got to Mom Reid's retirement village about 11pm, finally falling into bed after midnight!
Monday 3rd August
We visited Mom this morning to find her well and responsive. Just a real miracle that she is still here when you think that two and a half weeks ago, Sheila had a phone call in the middle of the night to tell her to come quick, she's breathing her last! We look forward to spending some time with her over the next few days and months!
Chat again soon everyone! Love you all, miss you already!!!!
